I've been thinking that Carron/Jones have fallen out of the judges' favour ever since they didn't quality to skate the free dance at last year's Worlds.

Also I think the FFSG gave up on them and don't do them any favor. If P/B gain two spot for next year Olys, the second one will go to P/C anyway.

Too bad because their FD was the the best of the night until the last group, difficult yet it was their best skate of the year. Compare to C/B's two foot/side by side FD, the difference is obvious because despite the great energy of the British's skate they are still years behind the french technically (even though Lloyd is not the greatest ice dancer we ever seen).

The good thing is Marika has a bright future as a choreographer. She's in my heart since 1997 euro FD ! This was soooo good. She look stunning also now, way better than when she was competing.

The British Europsort guys are loving I/K. Not sure what they thought of B/S as the snowboarding overran. Can they get over 100? I prefered B/S. Dissapointing fo rthe Azeris, I was really enjoying their routine till the fall. Chris on Eurosport has just said 'masterpiece' and they 'are ticking all the right boxes'
